Hiram PD fund-raisers to benefit K9 program

Saturday

HIRAM — The Hiram Police Department is continuing to raise money for its first every K9 team with several fund-raisers.

In partnership with Hiram police, the sale of Yankee Candle products will provide 40 percent of online proceeds to the program through Dec. 31.

The department is currently about halfway to its $20,000 fund-raising goal to purchase and train a K9 plus outfit the dog. Additional donations may be made at the Hiram Municipal Building at 11617 Garfield Road.
